AC Milan are thinking about some January gifts for Paulo Fonseca, and they reportedly have a couple of wingers in their sights. According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), there has been talk of Milan going for a deputy to Youssouf Fofana and a back-up for Theo Hernandez in the winter transfer window. However, the right side of the attack is also worth monitoring because Samuel Chukwueze is not convincing while Christian Pulisic has now been moved to the role of central attacking midfielder. Noah Okafor is also disappointing, so the Swiss or the Nigerian…
Chelsea are now ready to make a move to sign a new defender for Enzo Maresca as they look to bolster their ranks in their bid for Premier League supremacy, according to a fresh report. Currently second in the Premier League, Maresca’s Chelsea are expected to be among the busier sides in January. The Blues have been linked with a move for a new defender amid speculation they could look to sign Benfica’s Tomas Araujo, while their admiration for Victor Osimhen is also not thought to have diminished despite Nicolas Jackson’s immense form. However, much of the work done at…
When news broke ahead of the 2024 season that Lewis Hamilton was set to leave Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025, you wondered how the Silver Arrows would cope. Not only had the team struggled to adapt to the new regulations introduced in 2022 — a trend that largely continued throughout the 2024 campaign — but they were now losing their star driver and seven-time world champion. From the outside looking in, the highly successful team seemed as far away from winning as ever, with their days of F1 dominance nothing more than a fleeting memory of the past. And yet,…
The Baltimore Orioles 2024 season ended in extremely disappointing fashion. After looking like legitimate World Series contenders in the first half, their performance fell off a cliff in the second half as they looked like a very ordinary team. Despite that letdown, the Orioles entered the offseason with many people still being very excited about their outlook. In some way-too-early 2025 power rankings, they were considered the best team in the American League. The biggest reason for that is the young core that they have to build around. It is why MLB insider Buster Olney of ESPN has put Baltimore…
Even Paulo Fonseca is unhappy with Theo Hernandez and could drop him for the third consecutive time over the weekend, Milan are reportedly confident about reaching an agreement over a contract extension with the French star. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Milan are confident about extending Theo Hernandez’s contract beyond 2026, even if the French left-back has slipped down Fonseca’s pecking order in recent games. Theo started the latest two Serie A games on the bench, and the same could happen on Sunday when the Rossonieri host Claudio Ranieri’s Roma at San Siro for the last game of the…
Roma have not had a positive season so far, but Claudio Ranieri is at the helm and he is starting to get the best out of some players, including Alexis Saelemaekers. Calciomercato.com speak of a ‘renewed’ Saelemaekers, who has been deployed as a right wing-back in the 3-4-2-1 system used by Ranieri. He completely covered his flank, showing himself to be very useful in defensive coverage but also dangerous going forward. From the heat map, you can see how the Belgian literally played on the entire wing with 84% pass. completion plus the merit of having been involved in three…
Tommy Marshall III wanted to meet Luka Doncic for Christmas. The Dallas Mavericks granted his wish shortly before Monday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Tommy and his family met with the Mavericks superstar outside of the team’s locker room moments before Doncic went through his pregame workout routine. A smile and look of disbelief graced Tommy’s face as Doncic signed a basketball and two towels that also displayed Kyrie Irving. Tommy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was 14 years old and delayed attending high school for a year to focus on the life-threatening illness. In the…
Jayson Tatum did not suit up against the Orlando Magic on Monday night after being a late scratch just minutes before the opening tip. The Celtics added the All-Star forward to the team’s injury report just 12 minutes gametime, listing him as questionable due to a non-COVID illness. Tatum did not emerge with his teammates during starting lineup intros according to reports, with Al Horford replacing him in the starting five. He was not seated with his teammates on the bench during the first quarter as the team officially listed him as out for the matchup. Monday marks just the…
Simone Inzaghi congratulated Como for their performance, but assures Inter just had to ‘step up a gear’ to take the 2-0 win and tells Lautaro Martinez to ‘relax.’ The Nerazzurri were not at their best this evening at San Siro, but still came away with all three points and a 2-0 victory over Como thanks to the Carlos Augusto header on a corner and late Marcus Thuram scorcher into the near top corner. Cesc Fabregas changed his system to three at the back in order to mirror Inter and largely neutralised the reigning Champions of Italy, as Carlos Augusto made…
Liverpool have reportedly been dealt a blow in their quest to sign AC Milan attacker Christian Pulisic. The Merseyside outfit experienced an underwhelming transfer window in the summer, signing Federico Chiesa on a cut-price deal and agreeing a transfer with Valencia to recruit goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili ahead of next season. Their lack of transfer activity has not affected their performances on the pitch, with Liverpool currently sitting top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings. While they are achieving positive results in Arne Slot’s first season, Liverpool are on the lookout for potential reinforcements in future transfer windows.…
